Remote Buddy 1.10 streams to iPhone and iPod Touch, features improved
AirTunes support and more
APRIL 25, 2008 – NUREMBERG, GERMANY
IOSPIRIT GmbH is excited to announce the release of version 1.10 of Remote
Buddy today.
WHAT’S NEW IN V1.10
* Streaming of iTunes media via WLAN to iPhone and iPod Touch
The AJAX Remote integrated into Remote Buddy now supports the streaming of
all files organized in iTunes, so that they can be played back directly on
the iPhone or iPod Touch. Especially useful: complete playlists and albums
can be played back automatically. As the media files remain on the Mac and
are only streamed to the iPhone or iPod Touch, users no longer have to
choose a 4/8/16/32 GB sized slice of their collection but rather can access
their complete collection via their mobile device.
* Extended AirTunes- and output speaker support
While Remote Buddy users could already previously select the AirTunes
speaker that iTunes should send audio to, it is now also possible to select
more than one AirTunes speaker. The computer’s audio output to be used can
now also be selected via the AJAX Remote and in Remote Buddy’s onscreen
menu.
* Support for controlling additional applications
The new version brings support for also controlling the new Adobe Media
Player, Adobe Bridge (CS2 und CS3), the Toast Video Player and the media
center software XBMC.
* Improved Bluetooth support
The administration of Bluetooth devices used with Remote Buddy has been
modernized and Sony BD Remote users benefit of new possibilities to save
precious battery power.
